Dozy Don, did you get lots of kicks
Out of hexing the great New York Knicks?
You looked old, orange, bored,
And I'm betting you snored.
Yes, we saw you "out cold." We scored pics!

"Please do something with all of your clutter,
And for REAL this time. Don't simply putter!"
What a common refrain,
Addressed mostly in vain
To a spouse who'll evade or rebut her! https://t.co/7GHBeNmFk8

The Donald persuaded his base
That at deal-making Trump is an ace.
But his cave to Iran
Proves his skill-claim's a con.
Will his fans fin'lly note his disgrace?

"You adore telling folks what to do,
Most especially ME! Right on cue,
You'll advise me to say
Or do something that's cray.
Go away! (That's my counsel to YOU!)"

An old woman is terribly miffed;
It's her birthday, so cue quite the rift:
Seems her spouse, ev'ry year,
Buys her negligee, sheer
(Which he knows she won't wear) - as a "gift."

"I'm afraid that I'll soon be replaced
By AI, though I always have aced
My reviews at the job,"
Said a guy, with a sob...
"So I need a rich lover post-haste!"

Gloom and doom greet my eyes ev'ry day,
As I scour the press. Some might say
I'm "inviting the blues
By consuming Trump news."
I should stop, but my "rhyme gene" says "NAY!"

Many limericks start as a lark.
Some are spurred by a devilish spark,
That's set off by a word
Or a phrase that's absurd.
How to end them? I'm oft in the dark.

@davidlubar LOL!

@AnnaBower LOL! And here's my limerick on that very topic:

My Dear Donald, New York's been imbued
With deep pride in the Knicks, and our mood
Has been great, till you came
To attend the third game.
I sure hope that you like getting booed!

A young gal was chock-full of remorse:
She was certain she'd caused a divorce,
Cuz her mom and her dad
Had split up. (She'd been bad!)
Is that woman a shrink? But of course!

"Since fresh ice cream's my favorite vice,
My own creamery sure would be nice.
But my blood sugar's high,"
Said the man, with a sigh.
"So I'm putting that pipe dream on ice."

Our neighborhood grouch tends to revel
In claiming he worships the devil.
Yet that very same grump
Still maintains he hates Trump.
(I suspect that he's NOT on the level.)

My Dear Spring: I am rip-roaring mad,
Cuz the weather you're bringing's been bad.
It's late May, and we're still
Using heat. Such a chill
Is inflating our bill. You're a cad!

Our fine nation has lost its prime anchor;
It's been sullied by Trump, a vile canker,
Who's untethered to laws,
Who takes pride in his flaws,
And who governs by greed, whim, and rancor.

There's a Jan. 1 tradition, held dear,
To make vows to get up off your rear...
And reform. Well, it's May:
Habits (BAD ones) hold sway.
But don't worry: There's always next year!

"It was NOT my intent to depress you,
Or to irk you or vex you or stress you.
Playing games should be fun,
So please DON'T be undone
Cuz I'm able (at times) to out-guess you."

Fortunately, this is fictitious:

My neighbor's a pain in the neck:
He bangs on his drums on his deck
At sunrise each day
And at midnight in May...
And loves Trump. (I may move to Quebec.)

"Please don't tell me to go with the flow,
That you don't need directions, dear beau.
Your assurance, you see,
Is no comfort to me.
You are lost. It's my home. I should know!"
